The Transformers: Robots in Disguise #6

The cover of this 2012 IDW issue places Optimus Prime front and center in a powerful low-angle composition, his red-and-blue frame towering over a rocky, dust-swept landscape while a blue Autobot stands in the foreground below him. Rubble flies and smoke billows around them, giving the whole scene a charged, battle-weary atmosphere that suits the Robots in Disguise series' grounded, political edge. Writer John Barber and artist Livio Ramondelli continue their collaboration here, and the cover art alone promises the kind of grand-scale tension that has made this run a compelling corner of IDW's Transformers universe.
